> And somehow I always come back to a bunch of markdown files inside a Git repo. Others have mentioned this but if you want to keep this workflow, the best app I've found is Obsidian + Git Plugin. It works fantastically well on desktop though it does require a little work to get it working on iOS.

Are there options to see the current state of the repo? What I mean is, for example, I like that in VS Code I instantly know the current state because the git sidebar icon shows a notification of uncommitted changes. If I don't have a visual reminder, I'm more likely to not make commits when I should, and I also don't want an auto-committer firing after each change. I find the visual reminder keeps me anchored to my git status. Heck, maybe I should just use code for notes. One plus would be web access with code server, since Obsidians only docker image that I know of uses VNC. Anyone compared these two tools and have a decent write up? The biggest item which comes to mind would be referencing other notes and the features built on top of that?

How do you use Obsidian + Git on iOS?
- jdenning 1y ago
  There are a couple methods - I use Working Copy to manage the git stuff on iOS. Far from perfect, but it works.

    a-shell is another way you can do this. Takes a bit of finagling to set up and wire in plugins and the like but is relatively stable afterward.
